Praise for this book

"To pull together such a comprehensive guide, Carey has worked with expert contributors from practice... Overall, I would highly recommend this book. It offers a comprehensive and timely guide to UK data protection law, which will be of real practical value to data protection practitioners, particularly in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. Furthermore, it would also be of value to academics specialising in this area of law who are interested in the practical interpretation and application of data protection legislation." -- Dr Peter Coe, University of Reading, Computer and Telecommunications Law Review

"[T]his is one of the most well-researched reference works on the subject ... The book overall makes an important addition to the library of every data privacy, data protection and security practitioner in the UK." -- Ardi Kolah, Queen's University Belfast, Journal of Data Protection & Privacy
